Here's an interesting twist to the soprano pineapple design, Kala simply painted it to look like a watermelon - and based on reviews, people love this fruity look.

On the inside, it is very much the same as the other Kala Pineapple ukuleles, so the expected sound should be the same.

The top, back, sides and neck are all crafted from mahogany, while the fingerboard is crafted from rosewood.
